Nagoya-City Nagoya Festival (Nagoya Matsuri)

Date : 10/20/2018, 10/21/2018

A festival on the grandest scale, adding color to autumn in Nagoya

The main event is the "Procession of the Three Feudal Lords" parade, which involves the three heroes of the Sengoku period, Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu, and around 700 followers, and besides this, other examples of Nagoya City's cultural property, such as floats and kagura music and dance, also make an appearance.

Admission to several facilities within Nagoya City, among them Nagoya Castle and Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens, is free on festival days, and the whole city becomes imbued with a festival air.

*: Subject to time changes or cancelling depending on weather conditions.
*: Parade advances at the left hand direction of each avenue.
*: Road blocks and traffic restrictions to be enforced ostensibly around the venues, please use public transportation as best as possible.
